144: Zhang Luo Qingchen took timely action to turn the tide

"You all must die!" the Ugly Woman roared, her hands quickly forming seals. The Blood Nether Vine on the Blood Banner Flag became even more frantic, not only increasing in number but also growing thicker.

Chen Jiancang didn't know what method the Ugly Woman used for Foundation Establishment, to have stimulated Blood Nether Vine that had only grown for three months to such an extent.

One of the Blood Nether Vines, while Chen Jiancang was resisting the other blood vines, suddenly wrapped around his wrist. The tiny barbs on the vine instantly pierced Chen Jiancang's wrist. In just a moment, Chen Jiancang felt a burning numbness spread up his arm, and his body's movements were instantly obstructed and stiffened.

Seeing this, Chen Yingong rushed forward desperately, his Spirit Sword shining brightly, and fiercely slashed at the blood vine wrapped around Chen Jiancang.

With a "crack," dozens of Blood Nether Vine vines snapped, but Chen Yingong's body also paused slightly due to the excessive force. The Ugly Woman seized the opportunity to command several blood vines, like a blood-colored cage, trapping Chen Yingong within.

The sharp thorns on the blood vines continuously pierced Chen Yingong. His clothes were instantly stained red with blood, and wounds appeared all over his body.

Chen Jiancang's heart was burning with anxiety. He gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of vital blood onto the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword.

The sword body instantly glowed with a strong blood-colored light, its power greatly increased. The Azure Profound Sword Technique - Splitting Character Art was used by Chen Jiancang smoothly.

A huge blood-azure sword energy roared out, and wherever it passed, the blood vines were cut off one after another.

This attack instantly tore a large opening in the blood vine cage that was surrounding Chen Yingong.

Chen Yingong seized the opportunity and darted out from the gaps in the Blood Nether Vine, but his face was as pale as paper, and blood gurgled out from his wounds.

"Hahaha, Chen Jiancang, today none of you from the Chen Family will leave alive!" Seeing Chen Yingong escape, the Ugly Woman became enraged and frantically waved the Blood Banner Flag with both hands.

In an instant, the sky seemed to be dyed blood-red. From the blood banner, hundreds more Blood Nether Vines surged out, densely packed like blood-colored giant pythons, pouncing towards everyone.

Each Blood Nether Vine was as thick as a tree trunk, and thick black blood constantly seeped from the surface of the vine body, emitting a nauseating rotten smell.

Chen Yingong endured the weakness brought on by blood loss and turned his head to look at Jiancang, shouting loudly, "Jiancang, I'll hold back this Ugly Woman, you take the clansmen and leave first."

The Ugly Woman was originally a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and at this time, with the assistance of the Blood Nether Vine enhanced by the Blood Banner Flag, although Chen Yingong was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had only recently broken through the Realm and had not yet formed his own combat abilities.

"No! I want to stay and avenge my Master." Qing He's eyes were red, the Magical Artifact in her hand trembled slightly, and tears mixed with anger streamed down her face.

"Obey! It's too dangerous here, your presence will only distract me!" Chen Yingong shouted sternly, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

Immediately after, he suddenly threw the remaining several First Order High Grade Cage Talismans towards the Ugly Woman. The Cage Talismans instantly activated in the air, and layers of spiritual energy vine barriers quickly formed, attempting to trap the Ugly Woman.

"Madam, quickly dodge, they are not short of First Order High Grade Cage Talismans, be careful not to be trapped by the Cage Talisman." Tu Wan laughed loudly as he saw the Chen Family members retreating, reminding her.

He had been trapped by the Cage Talisman, which led to his current state, so how could he repeat the same mistake in the same place.

Chen Jiancang frowned, plunged the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword in his hand into Tu Wan's mouth, and when he pulled it out, a tongue accompanied by a large amount of blood fell to the ground.

Hearing this, the Ugly Woman let out a sharp shriek: "Chen Jiancang, you're courting death, you think you can trap this old woman with these broken Spirit Talismans?"

She suddenly shook the blood banner in her hand, and a blood-colored beam of light shot out from the banner, easily shattering the barrier formed by the Cage Talismans. But this brief obstruction also bought Chen Jiancang precious time.

Chen Jiancang stepped on the Azure Profound Footwork, his figure moving like a ghost through the Blood Nether Vines, the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword in his hand danced impenetrably.

Each swing of the sword brought forth a fierce sword energy, cutting off the approaching Blood Nether Vines. When he approached within ten zhang of the Blood Banner Flag, Chen Jiancang took out hundreds of First Order High Grade Fire Cloud Talismans from his storage bag and activated them simultaneously.

A huge wave of fire, overwhelming, submerged the Blood Banner Flag. Cracking sounds occasionally came from the fire wave, the Fire Cloud Talismans actually easily restrained the Blood Nether Vine.

"Impossible!!!" The Ugly Woman quickly performed hand seals, causing the Blood Nether Vine vines in the Blood Banner Flag to extend wildly. However, as soon as the Blood Nether Vine emerged from the Blood Banner Flag, it was scorched by the intense flames.

However, at this time, only Chen Jiancang knew the reality of the situation, knowing that this method would not last long, after all, both he and Chen Yingong were currently seriously injured.

Just as the Ugly Woman was about to take out her trump card to fight back because the Blood Nether Vine was restrained by the Fire Cloud Talismans, a white figure appeared silently behind the Ugly Woman, holding a water-azure High Grade Magical Artifact, intending to assassinate the Ugly Woman.

"Madam, be careful behind you." Tu Wan's eyes were wide open at this time, mumbling loudly to remind the Ugly Woman of the situation behind her, but without a tongue, there were only whimpering screams, accompanied by blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

The Ugly Woman also sensed a fatal crisis approaching at this time, her pupils constricted, and she wanted to pull away and escape, but found it was too late.

"Puff!" With a dull sound, the white-clothed female cultivator's long sword pierced through the Ugly Woman's heart like lightning.

The Ugly Woman's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She never expected that at this critical moment, such a mysterious expert would suddenly appear.

Crimson blood gushed from her chest, staining her clothes, and the Blood Banner Flag in her hand also drooped powerlessly.

"This... how is this possible..." The Ugly Woman uttered a few words with difficulty, her body slowly falling.

With her death, the light on the Blood Banner Flag instantly dimmed. Those frantic Blood Nether Vines seemed to lose control and collapsed to the ground, turning into puddles of black blood.

Chen Jiancang and Chen Yingong and the others were all stunned by this sudden change. They stared blankly at the white-clothed female cultivator, not knowing how to react for a moment.

The white-clothed female cultivator gently drew out her long sword, and with a casual flick, the bloodstains on the sword body were shaken off by an invisible force.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving us." Chen Jiancang was the first to recover, and quickly bowed in thanks.

The white-clothed female cultivator smiled slightly, her voice as clear as a silver bell: "Chen Jiancang, are you well? We met once at the Small Cloud Mountain Dan Hall a few months ago."

Chen Jiancang recognized this person. She was the one who had helped when the Chen Family set a trap to capture the Blood River Old Man.

And her relationship with Chen Youwan was quite close. Chen Jiancang had seen her chatting with Chen Youwan in the Dan Hall's Class C Dan Room.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance. If it weren't for you, my Xiao Yun Mountain Chen Family would have likely suffered a devastating disaster today." Chen Jiancang put away the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword and cupped his hands to the white-clothed female cultivator in thanks.

"You're welcome, I just happened to see injustice and lent a hand. Besides, these magic cultivators from the Blood Hidden Gate are usually evil and have long needed someone to teach them a lesson." The white-clothed female cultivator said, her gaze falling on Tu Wan, who had collapsed on the ground, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
